Original Abstract Submitted
An air foil bearing includes a bearing plate having a plate shape and a material layer coupled and fixed to the bearing plate and made of a different material from the bearing plate. A viscoelasticity of the material layer is greater than a viscoelasticity of the bearing plate. A compressor includes an air foil bearing.
